. . . and all the little boys and girls are thinking about their dates for the evening's festivities. Much has been made of the plan to have Republicans and democrats sit together rather than on their respective sides of the room.
But, I wonder, have the democrats really thought about the consequences of throwing tradition to the wind and integrating instead of staying segregated?
I don't know how the seating will turn out, but it could very well be that when Obama receives the inevitable standing "O's" from his party, we will see individuals standing up throughout the room rather than a solid block of people standing up on one side of the room. Think about the hairs on your head. Do they look better when they're all in the same place, or when they're spread out all over your head?
In any event, I look forward to seeing Boehner behind Obama rather than Pelosi, who will be just another face in the crowd.
